Summary: He’s ready for his close up, but she’s the one calling the shots.
On the night of her graduation from film school, straight-laced Maddie Bauers fell completely out of character for an oh-my-god make-out session with a perfect stranger. Complete with the big O.
Seven years later, that romantic interlude is still fresh in her mind. That stranger is now a rich and famous actor. And she’s one very distracted camera assistant working on his latest production. She might consider another tryst…if he even remembers her.
Micah Preston does indeed remember Maddie. Too bad he’s sworn off Hollywood relationships. He allows himself as much sex as he likes—and oh, he does like—but anything more is asking for trouble. For the woman, not for him. Yet knowing Maddie could want more than a movie-set fling doesn’t stop him from pursuing her like a moth drawn to hot stage lights.
But as the shoot nears its end, it’s decision time. Is it time to call, “Cut!” on their affair, or is there enough material for a sequel?
Warning: Contains a dreamy movie star hero, a focus-pulling heroine, off-the-charts instant chemistry, steamy sex in near-public locations, and a new use for lip gloss.

EXCERPT:
She sat back, attempting to put everything in perspective.
He was a player. A self-declared gigolo. At least he didn’t deny it.
And she couldn’t deny that she was mildly interested. More
than mildly. More like wildly.
But she knew herself. She was too into him already. It
wouldn’t take much to make her fall for him. As Bree had said, he would make
her cry.
She sighed then leveled an even stare at him. “I can’t date
you, Micah.”
His eyes hinted amusement. “Who said anything about dating?”
“And I definitely can’t do that with you.”
He leaned forward, challenge written all over his face. “Why
not?”
“Are you serious? To just be a random number in a group of
women? A notch in your bedpost that doesn’t mean anything?”
Micah put his hand over hers. His touch burned like fire on
her skin. “You wouldn’t be random. You’re Maddie from the party.”
“God, Micah, that’s just…gross.” She slid her hand out from
under his. “I’m not against one-night stands in general, but you said it
before. You’re different. You’d be different.”
Micah leaned forward and placed his hand on her leg under
the table, sending electric shocks throughout her body. “If by different you
mean the most insanely hot, wicked pleasure you’ve ever felt, then yes, I’ll
agree.”
His fingers moved in circles on her leg, and her mind filled
with unwanted images of the insanely hot wicked pleasure Micah promised.
Shaking the fantasies out of her head, she removed his hand
from her thigh. “Though I imagine what you say is true…” He winked at her and
she had to look away. “That’s not what I meant. Most hookups you can love and
leave. But not you. I’d see you everywhere after and I’m not talking about in
person. And it would make me a major hypocrite. I don’t approve of how you use
women like Kleenex—”
“Hey, no one’s ever complained.”
“I’m sure they haven’t.” His cavalier attitude about the whole
thing just reinforced her decision. “And I’m sure you aren’t used to hearing
those words, but I'm not interested, Micah. Not in the least.”
Okay, that was a lie, but he didn’t need to know that.
